Summer stitching...

This week I finished stamp #1 for the Summer sampler stitch along, designed by Melisa at PinkernPunkin.   I love all those flowers!  The white blooms don't show up very well, though - I'm thinking I might have to outline them.  

I moved right on to stamp #2 - ⬆️
      veggies and fruits from the garden!  


I'm enjoying all the different colors in this project!

For now I've packed my Summer stitching, some floss colors, and tools into this project pouch, and stuck it in my suitcase because we're going on a trip this week!   

I don't know how much time there will be to stitch on this,
but at least I'll have it just in case!

Linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.

Your summer blocks are sweet. The case they're stored in for your travels is fabulous. Did you sew this pretty, Diann? Enjoy your trip.

Have a wonderful trip! I like to have a bit of stitching to take on a trip as well. I can get cranky if I don't do something arty for a long time!

Love your project bag. They are so handy! Maybe I can catch up on the SUMMER STAMP stitch. You could backstitch the small white flowers. I’ve used palest blue or gray. A yellow or pale green might work too!

I would use a pale blue to outline those white flowers. They were hard to find. That is a pretty stamp. Enjoy your trip!

Oh Diann, your Summer Stamp Sampler is looking wonderful . I just adore the cheerful colors that you are using. I think I may outline my white flowers too, but I haven't figured out what color to use. Do you have any suggestions? I wish you a safe and fabulous trip this week. I look forward to hearing about your adventures. Warm hugs.
